What this camera shows

This live video feed captures real-time traffic flow at 3,838 feet, providing a view of conditions just slightly below the Pollock Pines chain-control point. Because this camera sits at the same elevation as the adjacent Sly Park Eastbound 1, it acts as a reliable confirmation of the current pavement state for vehicles approaching the higher elevations toward Echo Summit. Observing the movement here helps determine if traffic is flowing freely or if congestion is building before the ascent.

Since this feed streams live video rather than a static image, it is particularly useful for gauging visibility during active precipitation. If the view appears obscured by heavy fog or storm activity, it often indicates that similar conditions are developing for the climb ahead. Drivers can use this view to assess if current weather is causing delays, offering a more immediate picture of road status than the lower-elevation cameras at Ice House.

Chain-control points on US-50

Caltrans does not control the whole road at once — it sets controls at whichever point matches the snow level, so the same storm produces controls at different places on different days. These are the California-side points, highest first:
